I am new to node js. OS is windows 8.1 with MS buildtools 2015 installed. I am trying to install an app but kept running into errors related to node-gyp. The app seems to install node-gyp on its own (as I have not installed this module). The errors and possible solution is document in this link: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/802
I had followed step 1 to step 5. I am having problem understanding Step 6: " Do npm i in what-ever project with node-gyp as a dependency without seeing weird error messages" Can someone explain to me what it meant? I have googled npm i. Got a bit confused, is npm i a short for npm install or it is a package name "npm-i' that I need to install? I am installing the app as using this command: npm install -g theApp How do I use npm i? Any URL that I can look into? Since the errors I ran into is related to node-gyp. If I install manually node-gyp and then reinstall the app, does this make sense? Also, is Yeoman module relies on node-gyp module in order to install successfully? Thanks in advance.
